Disgusting as these pieces of shite may be, they are not unique to our generation. Why, only 20 years ago a man here could rape his wife whenever he felt like it since marriage meant the woman gave constant consent and there was nothing she could do about, even divorcing him was illegal.

Girl was irresponsible for getting so drunk at a wild party, if she was by herself there, I don't know if she had any friends with her there. Nevertheless, it was a rape and the offenders should be severely punished for their crime. However, the biggest outrage should go to the people observing the whole incident. Instances like this, especially with young people, really raise my concern as to where our society is going.
Another thing you raised in this issue, is the tendency of some media to be apologetic to the criminals. It's a trend I see in media outside of US as well, not just CNN. It goes against all the values I was raised with, and the values (I thought) were the backbone of our civilization.

You know what is more powerful of media or army? I would say media all the way. Easy to fake things and making people scared with overdriven headlines. What really happened behind doors we don't know. What news gave us is what we can go out from. It was just me got the feeling that she got really hurt. Call it intution or whatever...

This whole act is a chicken %^& move. I hate the slut shaming crap and I hate the whole, "oh she was drunk so its her fault." Well everyone makes a stupid mistake in their life at least once, especially young people. Doesn't mean you should get raped for it. I hope justice is served. Ugh, these things leave a bad taste in my mouth.
